ScottishPower deliberately and systematically misbilling final bills?
I feel on top of this, so am not asking for advice - I'm just curious if my experience is replicated elsewhere at all, as I get the impression that what I have seen when closing my account down is no accident and was a deliberate policy to misbill (and I don't necessarily believe it was an attempt to overbill, though it…
